  Yeah, they came out really well.
• 1:35
  I'm really happy with how they came out.
• 1:38
  I also,
• 1:38
  I'm going to share my screen real quick.
• 1:41
  I have the Venmo information.

• 1:53
  The QR codes are there on the screen.

• 2:07

• 2:08

• 2:12
  So and then please in your memo,
• 2:15
  put your name,
• 2:16
  your address and your size so I can
• 2:19
  get that out to you as quickly as
• 2:21
  possible.
• 2:23
  So I wanted to get that out of
• 2:24
  the way before we get into all the
• 2:26
  celebration talk.
• 2:27
  But really happy how they came out.
• 2:29
  And thank you to Vicky for putting this
• 2:32
  graphic together because it came out
• 2:34
  really cool and something I probably
• 2:36
  couldn't have done this well.
• 2:38
  So thank you to her for that.
• 2:42
  So we've got congrats, Carolyn.
• 2:47
  We've got congrats, Champ.
• 2:49
  It was great to meet you and Lex.
• 2:56
  thought i wasn't going to make it yay
• 2:57
  congrats champ carolyn so and there's
• 3:02
  another tessa i'm late congratulations
• 3:05
  carolyn so thank you also i laughed at
• 3:11
  this comment right here cross that that's
• 3:16
  probably the most jacked that you'll ever
• 3:18
  see me look ever when i first saw
• 3:19
  the video of the sunday night and i
• 3:21
  saw that picture i was like damn i
• 3:24
  looked jacked
• 3:27
  That's what I said.
• 3:27
  I said she's going to get pulled off
• 3:29
  the F tier or whatever.
• 3:31
  She wasn't even on the tier.
• 3:32
  I said don't let Heather see that one.
• 3:34
  I was unranked.
• 3:36
  So the funny thing is she actually was
• 3:38
  wearing a crop top in that picture.
• 3:41
  And then she requested a full t-shirt from
• 3:45
  the games team after that picture so that
• 3:48
  she could wear on the floor that week.
• 3:51
  So that is probably the one and only
• 3:52
  time you will ever see Carolyn in a
• 3:54
  crop top.
• 3:56
  Yeah, that crop top was an extra large.
• 3:59
  And they forced me for the pictures
• 4:01
  because they're like,
• 4:02
  we need a headshot for that picture.
• 4:05
  So they forced me to wear it just
• 4:06
  for that.
• 4:07
  And then they're like,
• 4:08
  we'll get you a T-shirt the following day,
• 4:09
  which they did.
• 4:10
  So, yeah.
• 4:12
  But did you see Ariel Loewen, her husband,
• 4:16
  wear her crop top and stuff in the
• 4:19
  bed?
• 4:19
  I was like,
• 4:19
  that's what I look like if I wear
• 4:21
  the full crop top.
• 4:26
  That was a great video too.
• 4:30
  She's so good at the internet.
• 4:33
  So good.
• 4:34
  Dylan is too.
• 4:42
  Jamie,
• 4:43
  a lot of people are asking about your
• 4:44
  arm.
• 4:46
  I talked about it on the show over
• 4:47
  the weekend.
• 4:49
  How is it today?
• 4:50
  Are you feeling?
• 4:51
  Pretty good.
• 4:55
  It's deep, though.
• 4:57
  Yeah.
• 4:58
  It's not going to be the prettiest scar,
• 4:59
  but it's tender.
• 5:02
  And I keep, like, bumping it on things.
• 5:04
  That's not helping at all.
• 5:07
  But it'll heal.
• 5:09
  I'll have a cool scar.
• 5:12
  Story to tell.
• 5:14
  Yeah.
• 5:15
  Thank you, Shanna.
• 5:17
  Yeah, you're a little angel.
• 5:20
  Yes.
• 5:22
  Um, yeah,
• 5:23
  because it was really bothering me,
• 5:26
  like supporting my body weight.
• 5:28
  And then once she got me on antibiotics,
• 5:32
  that helped for the final day.
• 5:35
  Well, you,
• 5:36
  you and I were in the warmup for
• 5:37
  the row and handstand walk event,
• 5:40
  and you couldn't even do a high plank,
• 5:41
  like a pushup position.
• 5:44
  Yeah, it was, well, I was,
• 5:45
  and I was very cautious handstand walking
• 5:48
  that, that morning.
• 5:49
  Like
• 5:51
  I had tried to kick up in my
• 5:52
  hotel room and like, I was like,
• 5:53
  I can't support my body weight.
• 5:55
  I don't know how I'm going to do
• 5:55
  this event.
• 5:56
  Um,
• 5:57
  obviously adrenaline takes over when you
• 5:59
  get out there.
• 6:00
  And I did it.
• 6:00
  I just was a lot slower than I
• 6:02
  would have been normally.
• 6:04
  Um,
• 6:04
  so that one hurt the leaderboard a little
• 6:06
  bit.
• 6:08
  And then like, and burp, like, yeah,
• 6:10
  pushing myself up off the floor does not
• 6:12
  feel good.
• 6:12
  I did burpees today again and it,
• 6:14
  it still hurts.
• 6:17
  Uh, CrossFit says, uh,
• 6:18
  more excuses to show off the guns.
• 6:23
  Yeah,
• 6:23
  she has a stick on scars so she
• 6:25
  can like hold her arm up to show
• 6:29
  people.
• 6:31
  Benita is asking what happened.
• 6:32
  I've told the story a couple of times.
• 6:35
  Quick recap of what happened.
• 6:38
  I was carrying the med ball.
• 6:40
  You know, it's like awkward.
• 6:41
  You're here.
• 6:41
  You kind of can't really like watch the
• 6:44
  road in front of you.
• 6:45
  Um, and I was turning the last turn.
• 6:48
  There was a big sign signage post, um,
• 6:52
  kind of got pinched off by two dudes
• 6:54
  as well.
• 6:55
  So I got like narrowly put in and,
• 6:57
  you know,
• 6:58
  when you're used to like your frame and
• 7:00
  running,
• 7:01
  you just don't know where you are at
• 7:02
  in space with extra stuff.
• 7:06
  Um,
• 7:06
  and I clipped the signage hard holding.
• 7:09
  I mean, it just, that impact,
• 7:11
  it just exploded my elbow.
• 7:15
  Funk was what happened.
• 7:16
  Yeah.
• 7:18
  I remember watching you cross the finish
• 7:20
  line and have a bunch of blood.
• 7:21
  And I'm like, what happened in my head?
• 7:23
  But I had to go for my warmup.
• 7:26
  I figured you just face planted with the
• 7:28
  ball or something like on the cement.
• 7:30
  And I was like, Oh man,
• 7:31
  that must've hurt.
• 7:32
  And then you told me the story and
• 7:32
  I was like, Ooh, yeah,
• 7:34
  I know exactly the corner that you're
• 7:35
  talking about too.
• 7:37
  Yeah.
• 7:38
  I mean,
• 7:38
  I think everyone thought I had fallen like
• 7:41
  on pavement and just like skin my knee
• 7:43
  or my, like something.
• 7:44
  I mean,
• 7:44
  cause it was on my leg from scooping
• 7:46
  the med ball back up.
• 7:47
  It was already like kind of gushing blood
• 7:49
  out of my elbow.
• 7:50
  So it was all over my leg.
• 7:52
  I, and to be honest, I don't even,
• 7:53
  I think I just don't even like know
• 7:56
  if I also hit the ground and skidded
• 7:59
  my knees or what the heck happened.
• 8:00
  So I didn't really know where I,
• 8:02
  where I'd hurt myself.
• 8:04
  Um, but yeah.
• 8:07
  The sign spent longer in medical than
• 8:09
  Jamie did.
• 8:12
  Probably because I was not in there for
• 8:15
  very long.
• 8:15
  Tessa says, okay, stop it with those arms.
• 8:19
  Okay.
• 8:20
  So we got that dirty business out of
• 8:22
  the way, though.
• 8:23
  I will say you guys do not need
• 8:25
  to talk in this moment.
• 8:27
  We called out the med ball danger a
• 8:29
  week prior to the event.
• 8:31
  That's all I'm going to say about that.
• 8:32
  And we'll move on.
• 8:35
  And it wasn't just Jamie.
• 8:37
  Other people had instant instances as well
• 8:39
  throughout the day.
• 8:41
  Um, but anyway,
• 8:44
  that's all I'm going to say about that.
• 8:45
  And we'll move on to the happy stuff,
• 8:48
  which is in a,
• 8:51
  what was a crazy battle for the first
• 8:53
  part of the week with McKenzie Riley, uh,
• 8:57
  Carolyn Prevo did her thing.
• 9:01
  And, uh,
• 9:02
  Broke the band on the day three and
• 9:06
  ended up winning by a pretty decent margin
• 9:08
  in the thirty five to thirty nine year
• 9:10
  old division.
• 9:11
  And now she gets to carry around a
• 9:13
  gold medal that is super freaking cool
• 9:16
  with a picture of the ranch on the
• 9:18
  back.
• 9:18
  And it says fittest on earth.
• 9:20
  And she will forever now be a CrossFit
• 9:22
  Games champion.
• 9:25
  And I'd say Sammy Scorzelli was really up
• 9:28
  there the whole weekend.
• 9:29
  She had.
• 9:31
  I think similar to me or seven out
• 9:33
  of the eight scores were top fives for
• 9:35
  her or six.
• 9:37
  But I think it's seven.
• 9:39
  And she just had the one bad event
• 9:42
  of her snatch.
• 9:43
  The snatch one, yeah.
• 9:44
  Yeah,
• 9:44
  so she was battling me in a lot
• 9:46
  of the wads.
• 9:47
  So she was also a good race.
• 9:51
  And I can't let it slide that listener,
• 9:54
  frequent listener,
• 9:55
  Lito Calagiani was in fifth.
• 9:58
  It's top five finish as well.
• 10:00
  Yeah, she smashed it.
• 10:03
  Yeah, she smashed it this weekend.
• 10:04
  And a quote from one of my favorite
• 10:06
  movies, The Replacements, pain heals,
• 10:08
  chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever.
• 10:13
  Yeah,
• 10:13
  not a lot of glory from all of
• 10:13
  it, but okay.
• 10:19
  It was still fun watching you out there.
• 10:23
  Shana says, love the medal.
• 10:25
  It is by far the coolest medal that
• 10:27
  CrossFit has ever handed out.
• 10:30
  yeah it's heavy it's big i forgot it
• 10:31
  because i just came to starbucks today for
• 10:33
  the podcast but yeah it's it's really well
• 10:37
  done metal and i like the the ranch
• 10:40
  like picture and then the the so i
• 10:42
  think it's a special metal for sure yeah
• 10:46
  it's a good one and we don't know
• 10:49
  what the prize purse is but you won
• 10:51
  that as well which is pretty cool and
• 10:54
  you get to convert it to canadian to
• 10:55
  make it stretch even further
• 10:58
  Yeah.
• 10:59
  I mean,
• 11:00
  a bunch of it gets withheld every year,
• 11:02
  so nothing new, but very exciting.
• 11:05
  Good, uh, good prize money, um,
• 11:08
  to help with the season,
• 11:09
  the travel and extra.
• 11:13
  Maybe they'll round up for you like they
• 11:15
  did for teams and not down like they
• 11:18
  did for individuals.
• 11:19
  Uh, all right.
• 11:23
  So let's talk about the overall week.
• 11:26
  Um,
• 11:28
  I really enjoyed watching the Masters.
• 11:31
  I'm going to talk about the good stuff
• 11:32
  first.
• 11:33
  I really,
• 11:33
  really enjoyed watching the Masters.
• 11:37
  I love the pockets of fandom that you
• 11:41
  get at the Masters because when they come,
• 11:43
  they come with their families.
• 11:45
  And unlike the elites where it's just kind
• 11:47
  of sprawled out and your favorite
• 11:48
  CrossFitters are different throughout the
• 11:52
  All of the Jamie fans are in one
• 11:54
  spot.
• 11:54
  All of the Scott Pancheck fans are in
• 11:56
  one spot.
• 11:57
  And it gets loud in those little pockets
• 11:59
  of fandom.
• 12:01
  And it is really cool to watch.
• 12:02
  And to me,
• 12:05
  it was the most well-attended Masters
• 12:09
  Games event that I've been to.
• 12:11
  And I've been to a lot of them.
• 12:13
  And it actually had like a regional feel
• 12:15
  to me.
• 12:18
  They were three deep on the rail.
• 12:21
  for many of the lower age groups and
• 12:24
  the stands were full by the end of
• 12:26
  the day in addition to that granted it's
• 12:32
  not in the big arena but it had
• 12:34
  a really cool regional vibe to it all
• 12:38
  your thoughts from the floor
• 12:43
  I thought the atmosphere was good.
• 12:45
  We came out, at least for my division,
• 12:48
  people all over.
• 12:51
  It seemed packed for the most part for
• 12:54
  every one of the events that I took
• 12:55
  the floor.
• 12:58
  Yeah, I agree.
• 12:59
  I think it seemed fairly well attended.
• 13:04
  I'm trying to like picture the crowd last
• 13:07
  year in Columbus.
• 13:08
  I don't know if it's because that space
• 13:09
  was so big.
• 13:10
  It was really hard to see.
• 13:12
  And the floors were spread out even more.
• 13:15
  So you like what I'll say is the
• 13:19
  stands by the floors were much,
• 13:22
  much smaller than what we had this year.
• 13:24
  Right.
• 13:25
  They were only like two wide.
• 13:27
  And the one set of stands that went
• 13:29
  down both floors was like fourteen sets of
• 13:33
  bleachers.
• 13:35
  And then the other side where the
• 13:36
  broadcast was and all of that,
• 13:38
  that was jam packed full, too.
• 13:40
  Mm hmm.
• 13:41
  So you had both sides full,
• 13:43
  where in Columbus,
• 13:44
  you only got to be on one side.
• 13:46
  And maybe because it was small,
• 13:48
  people just didn't try to squeeze in, too.
• 13:50
  Like, I don't know.
• 13:53
  But because of the way it was set
• 13:55
  up,
• 13:55
  it gave a very regional vibe to it.
• 14:01
  Shanna said it was so loud,
• 14:02
  she couldn't hear her coach.
• 14:06
  And I could talk.
• 14:11
  What unknown price purse?
• 14:14
  Are we shocked?
• 14:20
  Do you have to pay jock tax and
• 14:21
  Fed taxes in each country?
• 14:24
  yeah i mean normally when i compete in
• 14:26
  the states anytime i compete in the states
• 14:28
  they withhold thirty percent and then on
• 14:30
  top of that some uh some state taxes
• 14:33
  as well so no like i think when
• 14:36
  i was in madison i had six percent
• 14:39
  in my so maybe like thirty six percent
• 14:41
  was withhold um and then it ends up
• 14:45
  being pretty close to the same amount in
• 14:48
  canadian dollars when it's all said and
• 14:49
  done um
• 14:55
  The other cool thing I like...
• 14:57
  So nothing new, I guess,
• 14:58
  from international people.
• 14:59
  We have that every year.
• 15:03
  The other thing I'll say I liked is
• 15:04
  where Vendor Village was.
• 15:06
  You had to walk through it to get
• 15:08
  in the door.
• 15:11
  And I've heard the vendors were pretty
• 15:13
  happy.
• 15:14
  Good.
• 15:16
  In that area.
• 15:17
  A lot of traffic.
• 15:18
  The CrossFit store was doing well at the
• 15:22
  age group divisions.
• 15:23
  Yeah.
• 15:26
  It looked cool when you walked in.
• 15:27
  It looked like an event because of the
• 15:30
  way they had Vendor Village set up.
• 15:37
  What else?
• 15:38
  Was there any other things that you guys
• 15:40
  saw that you liked?
• 15:44
  I thought the athlete warm-up area was
• 15:47
  very good this year.
• 15:53
  Yeah,
• 15:53
  I thought for the most part there was
• 15:55
  enough machines.
• 15:56
  Normally, a lot of times,
• 15:57
  machines are very low.
• 16:00
  What they have,
• 16:01
  like two of the competition barbells,
• 16:03
  they had other types of barbells there,
• 16:06
  but then I think two or three of
• 16:08
  the shorter bars that we would tend to
• 16:10
  use on the floor.
• 16:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:12
  But for the most part, I mean,
• 16:13
  everything that I needed was there.
• 16:15
  I don't really warm up too much, honestly,
• 16:17
  for like any of the events.
• 16:19
  But for most people,
• 16:22
  I think they have most like they have
• 16:24
  their stuff.
• 16:29
  i had a good time i just want
• 16:30
  to say like i got to hang out
• 16:32
  with larry and shelley young um i got
• 16:35
  to talk to shanna i got to talk
• 16:38
  to jace um i talked to lito wayne
• 16:41
  short i hung out with almost a whole
• 16:43
  day who's in the chat um i really
• 16:47
  had a good time the funny thing is
• 16:48
  i get way more recognized at the masters
• 16:51
  games than i do at the regular games
• 16:54
  way more,
• 16:56
  which makes my heart feel good because I
• 16:58
  really love that community and the
• 17:00
  support.
• 17:03
  The one bad thing I'm going to mention,
• 17:05
  and then I will turn it over to
• 17:05
  you guys, is stop with the two floors.
• 17:11
  I just can't.
• 17:13
  I have Rudy Berger,
• 17:14
  who's my neighbor and friend,
• 17:16
  and Jamie going at the exact same time.
• 17:19
  How the hell am I supposed to watch
• 17:21
  both?
• 17:23
  And that's what was hard too with the
• 17:26
  Flow Elite as well,
• 17:27
  because I wish that they would have a
• 17:29
  version of the Flow Elite where they have
• 17:31
  different commentators,
• 17:32
  let's say for the female floor and other
• 17:34
  commentators for the men's floor.
• 17:36
  And then you can pick before the workout
• 17:38
  if you want to watch the female side
• 17:39
  or the men's side.
• 17:41
  because oftentimes like they would talk
• 17:43
  about let's say the woman's side but
• 17:44
  they're filming the men and then they're
• 17:46
  talking about the men and it's the female
• 17:49
  side being shown but i would say that
• 17:51
  for a lot of it at least for
• 17:54
  the most part sixty to eighty percent was
• 17:56
  the men's side getting filmed yes is what
• 17:59
  i've heard
• 18:00
  Well,
• 18:01
  and I stuck with Carolyn and Mackenzie
• 18:05
  Riley and Scarpella going at it.
• 18:11
  That's not how you pronounce her last
• 18:12
  name.
• 18:13
  Scorzelli.
• 18:15
  Scorzelli.
• 18:16
  Which means I completely missed Pancheck,
• 18:19
  Noah, Mayer, all of them.
• 18:21
  I didn't get to see any of them,
• 18:24
  which really just sucks.
• 18:26
  And I feel cheated about that.
• 18:29
  Well, they'll be on flow,
• 18:30
  so you can go back and watch them.
• 18:32
  Well,
• 18:32
  there's got to be a way to stagger
• 18:37
  it in a way where you can watch
• 18:38
  both in some way.
• 18:41
  Like,
• 18:42
  make one floor men's and one women's,
• 18:44
  but stagger them back and forth so you
• 18:45
  can get the equipment change and
• 18:47
  everything done quickly.
• 18:51
  Something like that.
• 18:53
  There's got to be a way.
• 18:56
  But I...
• 18:58
  That'll turn it over to you guys.
• 18:59
  That's just my one thing that I just
• 19:01
  could not stand from the weekend.
• 19:07
  My biggest thing with the Masters,
• 19:12
  I didn't mind the programming this year.
• 19:13
  I thought it was better than last year.
• 19:15
  I thought last year was very power-based
• 19:19
  and heavier.
• 19:21
  This year,
• 19:22
  and Jamie will disagree with me,
• 19:23
  but I think they went the opposite and
• 19:26
  a lot more lighter weights.
• 19:29
  I think they could have added another
• 19:32
  workout that had a little bit of heavier
• 19:34
  weights.
• 19:34
  Just to make it a little bit more
• 19:36
  well-rounded,
• 19:36
  I would have liked nine to ten events
• 19:38
  for the younger division, let's say,
• 19:41
  sixty and under, or fifty-nine and under,
• 19:43
  and then maybe seven to eight events for
• 19:47
  sixty and above, at least.
• 19:50
  Not just scores, like events, right?
• 19:52
  Ideally like seven to eight.
• 19:54
  But it was the chip timers.
• 19:55
  like that at this level we should not
• 19:58
  be relying on stopwatches especially when
• 20:02
  a lot of the finishes are so close
• 20:05
  like you look at the burpee thruster one
• 20:07
  you're having like three four people
• 20:09
  finish at the exact same time and it's
• 20:11
  just stopwatches um doing that or on the
• 20:15
  rower
• 20:16
  You have a thousand meters for time or
• 20:19
  nine hundred or nine hundred,
• 20:20
  eight hundred, depending on your division.
• 20:22
  And we're having the rower count up versus
• 20:25
  counting down and just taking that time
• 20:27
  right there.
• 20:27
  We're relying once again on a stopwatch to
• 20:31
  determine someone's score,
• 20:32
  which is just crazy at this level.
• 20:38
  Andrew Sten,
• 20:39
  you and I are never going to agree
• 20:40
  on legends topics.
• 20:43
  I'm just going to say it right now.
• 20:45
  If you wanted to run the event twice
• 20:46
  as long as you can run one floor
• 20:48
  or stagger the heats, listen,
• 20:52
  you cut the field down.
• 20:55
  You cut the number of events that are
• 20:57
  being done down,
• 21:00
  cutting time in all different places.
• 21:03
  Why do you then have to run both
• 21:04
  floors?
• 21:05
  We did the other two Legends games with
• 21:11
  one floor being shown at a time,
• 21:14
  and it worked.
• 21:15
  Now, all of a sudden,
• 21:16
  this is the only way,
• 21:17
  or we can't get it in in the
• 21:19
  time allotted.
• 21:20
  I don't buy it.
• 21:23
  I talked to Bob after the row workout
• 21:27
  just to kind of express my frustration
• 21:28
  with them counting up.
• 21:30
  And he said that like, you know,
• 21:34
  with the amount of like volunteer judges
• 21:36
  and stuff,
• 21:37
  they didn't want to risk it basically with
• 21:40
  the resetting of
• 21:42
  those monitors and it being like the same
• 21:45
  for everyone and accurate and all that.
• 21:47
  And I just, I mean, and,
• 21:49
  and he said like, you know,
• 21:51
  they just lack the volunteers really.
• 21:53
  Like they have a hundred and twenty,
• 21:55
  let's say that sign up,
• 21:56
  but then only like sixty show up.
• 21:59
  But I still need the same number of
• 22:00
  volunteers for growing two floors at the
• 22:02
  same time.
• 22:03
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  I still think regardless.
• 22:05
  Yeah.
• 22:06
  like you take an extra minute or two
• 22:08
  to make sure all the screens are the
• 22:09
  same and that can be the head judge
• 22:11
  going through um even if it's a rogue
• 22:14
  let's say rower and you're not as familiar
• 22:16
  with the screen I think that's just is
• 22:18
  something that has to get done like that's
• 22:20
  that time should be going down um but
• 22:24
  yeah more so my things were more events
• 22:29
  the big things is I would like to
• 22:31
  see more events and at least,
• 22:34
  at least the stopwatch stuff for a start,
• 22:36
  for a start.
• 22:37
  And then eventually if we could have,
• 22:40
  you know, not at the same time,
• 22:42
  that'd be the next thing.
• 22:43
  But I,
• 22:45
  if that's the way it goes so that
• 22:46
  we can get, you know,
• 22:48
  through the day a little faster, it sucks,
• 22:50
  but like, sure.
• 22:51
  Okay.
• 22:55
  The, we need chip timers.
• 22:59
  it needs to be legitimate.
• 23:01
  Like you have people, if here's the thing,
• 23:05
  if you want this thing to continue to
• 23:06
  grow and you want legitimate athletes to
• 23:09
  come into the space,
• 23:12
  you better make it as similar to what
• 23:14
  they experienced.
• 23:15
  And like you have people like Travis and
• 23:19
  Noah, and I know Scott's done it.
• 23:21
  So he's kind of familiar,
• 23:22
  but Travis and Noah have expectations and
• 23:26
  to come in,
• 23:29
  And it'd be kind of a joke.
• 23:32
  And you're just like, I mean,
• 23:34
  some people had tie break time.
• 23:35
  Some people didn't.
• 23:38
  I mean,
• 23:39
  you're not even certain when you got to
• 23:41
  a thousand meters.
• 23:42
  It's whatever the judge felt like.
• 23:43
  Some people stopped rowing with ten meters
• 23:46
  and it's rolling.
• 23:48
  When is the judge actually clicking their
• 23:50
  button?
• 23:51
  Who freaking knows?
• 23:52
  Because you can't even review anything to
• 23:54
  even check anything.
• 23:56
  scores you have to do chip diners and
• 24:00
  i'm sorry but like and maybe it's because
• 24:07
  we just went through this and i and
• 24:08
  then i went and watched elites and i
• 24:10
  get it it's the twentieth year anniversary
• 24:12
  and everything needs to be spectacular and
• 24:14
  huge and amazing but when you have three
• 24:17
  people
• 24:18
  It's three volunteers on the floor per
• 24:22
  athlete and three equipment team members
• 24:25
  on the floor per athlete.
• 24:27
  And you have rogue right down.
• 24:30
  You can't get a rogue rep over to
• 24:35
  the McHenry Center to show them how to
• 24:38
  set up a countdown.
• 24:41
  That's insane to me.
• 24:43
  Because even when the let's say like when
• 24:45
  your meters go up,
• 24:46
  it doesn't stop automatically at nine
• 24:48
  hundred.
• 24:48
  It could go to nine ten.
• 24:49
  You know, it kind of like skips numbers.
• 24:52
  So then all of a sudden,
• 24:52
  like when like whenever that person sees
• 24:55
  the nine hundred,
• 24:55
  but it could have been like nine or
• 24:57
  seven or.
• 24:59
  or one thousand so it's really hard to
• 25:02
  press your stopwatch at the right time and
• 25:05
  with that much money on the line
• 25:06
  especially for the younger divisions like
• 25:08
  you just want to make sure that the
• 25:10
  scores are accurate and that the right
• 25:12
  person gets the right amount of points
• 25:15
  that's that's the only thing yeah uh mr
• 25:20
  dex hopkins uh you guys are lucky we
• 25:23
  let you come to the same event here's
• 25:24
  two shirts good luck
• 25:28
  Okay, so no, Andrew says, no, Jamie,
• 25:31
  we can't.
• 25:31
  Okay, here's the thing.
• 25:34
  If Rogue wants you to use their equipment,
• 25:36
  they probably should make sure it gets
• 25:38
  used correctly or don't use it.
• 25:40
  If C-tos are easier, then use C-tos.
• 25:43
  Why do you have Rogue equipment?
• 25:46
  Did they sponsor it?
• 25:48
  And if they sponsored it,
• 25:49
  they should want to make sure it's used
• 25:51
  correctly.
• 25:54
  So now you're telling the world,
• 25:57
  Our equipment is too difficult to use.
• 26:00
  Don't use Rogue stuff.
• 26:01
  Use C-II because we don't even know how
• 26:04
  to push re-Rogue.
• 26:07
  My goodness.
• 26:08
  You're doing, I mean, Rogue, I'm serious,
• 26:10
  Katie, if you're listening,
• 26:12
  if you re-watch this,
• 26:14
  you did yourself no favors by not,
• 26:17
  and I don't know if it's a legend
• 26:19
  thing and nobody wants to work with Bob
• 26:21
  and Joe.
• 26:21
  This is another issue I have.
• 26:23
  And if that's the case,
• 26:26
  HQ needs to step in.
• 26:27
  But like if people don't want to work
• 26:28
  with you and they don't want to come
• 26:30
  help and help with equipment and help with
• 26:32
  setup, we have a huge issue.
• 26:37
  I don't think it's that confusing to put
• 26:39
  nine hundred meters for time or one
• 26:41
  thousand meters and then just go and then
• 26:44
  just go reroll or whatever.
• 26:46
  I did it in the warm up the
• 26:47
  next day.
• 26:47
  I went and sat down,
• 26:49
  spent literally five seconds for an hour
• 26:51
  and I was like,
• 26:51
  just set my roller to a thousand meters
• 26:53
  just to let you know in five seconds.
• 26:58
  i need to uh show you where to
• 27:01
  hit the riff alert next time you go
• 27:02
  off like that scott's face he just kind
• 27:06
  of sat back and like his eyes just
• 27:09
  yeah i'll probably get banned from masters
• 27:11
  games or whatever i don't know you know
• 27:14
  who knows what's going on in this media
• 27:15
  world anymore uh claude still banned from
• 27:19
  rogue no sweet well we're probably getting
• 27:22
  banned from legends forever but
• 27:29
  Jason Bourne, it's sad.
• 27:31
  It's sad because all I want to do
• 27:32
  is provide constructive criticism.
• 27:34
  I said it.
• 27:35
  I said it when they announced the event.
• 27:37
  You need to set this to count down.
• 27:39
  Whatever you need to do to figure that
• 27:42
  out, you need to be working on it.
• 27:44
  I mean,
• 27:44
  you had five days or whatever from when
• 27:47
  I commented on it,
• 27:48
  and other people expressed that same
• 27:50
  concern.
• 27:52
  Well,
• 27:52
  originally we were supposed to run to our
• 27:53
  rowers, so I'm just glad that we started.
• 27:55
  It wouldn't even have mattered.
• 27:56
  I wouldn't even have cared if we ran
• 27:57
  to our rowers.
• 27:58
  If you're slow at getting in your rower
• 27:59
  and starting it,
• 28:00
  that gives you less time to handstand
• 28:01
  walk.
• 28:02
  It doesn't matter.
• 28:04
  You still set it to a thousand meter
• 28:05
  countdown.
• 28:08
  Larry Young,
• 28:09
  I wish Jamie would just start opening up.
• 28:14
  No sweets for Jamie.
• 28:20
  I just want to give constructive
• 28:23
  criticism.
• 28:24
  Like, I'm not trying to bash them.
• 28:26
  I'm trying to let you know, like, Rogue,
• 28:28
  too, like, be smart with what you supply.
• 28:32
  You want it to look good.
• 28:34
  I mean, when I talked to Bob,
• 28:38
  he seemed to think it was because of
• 28:40
  the volunteers wouldn't really know how to
• 28:42
  do it.
• 28:43
  Um, or,
• 28:44
  or they were going to get like,
• 28:46
  they were unsure was going to be
• 28:48
  consistent.
• 28:50
  Um,
• 28:50
  so I'm sure he thought about all these
• 28:54
  things and it's just crazy that you don't
• 28:57
  take, you know, a moment before the heats,
• 29:00
  like,
• 29:00
  let's say all of them are a thousand,
• 29:02
  nine hundred.
• 29:03
  And then for this many heats and then
• 29:05
  before the heat that goes to nine hundred,
• 29:07
  eight hundred,
• 29:07
  then you go and set those up.
• 29:09
  But I don't know.
• 29:12
  If they thought about it, I don't,
• 29:15
  here's the thing.
• 29:17
  I really truly don't think they think
• 29:18
  about it.
• 29:18
  It's the same way with programming.
• 29:19
  Like, I don't think they test things.
• 29:21
  I don't think they have any foresight of
• 29:25
  how things are going to play out.
• 29:27
  I mean,
• 29:28
  the questions that were asked in the
• 29:29
  briefing and then they not have an answer
• 29:32
  for or critically thought through it is
• 29:36
  it's mind boggling.
• 29:38
  For the briefing, we should have all,
• 29:40
  all of the workouts should have already
• 29:42
  been out on comp.
• 29:42
  Once they released all of the workouts,
• 29:44
  they should have all been on competition
• 29:45
  corner with like the information on each
• 29:48
  workout.
• 29:48
  So then everyone can read through it.
• 29:50
  And then when you get to the briefing,
• 29:51
  you don't ask a thousand questions about
• 29:54
  every workout because everyone's already
• 29:56
  read through it.
• 29:57
  And then they can pick point little parts
• 29:59
  of their standards and be like,
• 30:00
  can you guys look over X, Y,
• 30:03
  and Z that you wrote here?
• 30:05
  You know, but.
• 30:13
  It's fun how none of the divisions are
• 30:16
  run by former competitors.
• 30:21
  Air the tea, so much tea.
• 30:28
  I mean, to be fair.
• 30:30
  A lot of these are very fixable things.
• 30:32
  Very fixable.
• 30:33
  Like the chip timers or some sort of
• 30:37
  finish line and the rope,
• 30:40
  that's very easy to fix.
• 30:43
  It's not a huge thing to fix,
• 30:45
  and it would make a world of a
• 30:46
  difference in precision.
• 30:47
  Yeah.
• 30:51
  Just to correct CrossFat,
• 30:52
  Kevin Ogart was a former competitor.
• 30:54
  He's running Wheelwod now.
• 30:58
  Bob was a former competitor.
• 31:01
  Um,
• 31:02
  I don't know how far he made it
• 31:03
  exactly.
• 31:05
  He may have made the games as a
• 31:06
  master's athlete early on.
• 31:08
  Um, but I think it was like, yeah,
• 31:12
  I think Shannon, you're right.
• 31:17
  I think Bob was a games competitor at
• 31:19
  one time.
• 31:24
  Uh,
• 31:27
  I,
• 31:28
  anything else on the masters before we
• 31:30
  move on to, uh, the elite individuals?
• 31:37
  I just think I've said this other places
• 31:40
  because there's been a lot of talk.
• 31:42
  Like for one,
• 31:43
  I know I'm very harsh on Bob and
• 31:45
  Joe.
• 31:47
  I appreciate everything that they have
• 31:49
  done for the Masters community.
• 31:51
  I think them stepping up when they did
• 31:54
  for the Legends and them running the
• 31:57
  Legends in December as a theater comp is
• 32:01
  wonderful.
• 32:02
  I just,
• 32:03
  I personally just think that's where they
• 32:05
  need to stay is running their own comp
• 32:08
  and figuring out how to run a comp.
• 32:10
  Other people have chimed in and said they
• 32:12
  think like Micah or someone else needs to
• 32:14
  take it over and I think
• 32:16
  this even goes back to Bob and Joe.
• 32:18
  I think they've been given the short end
• 32:21
  of the stick.
• 32:22
  I don't think,
• 32:23
  and I know this is never going to
• 32:25
  happen.
• 32:25
  It's too far gone.
• 32:26
  But if I was a, ran a comp,
• 32:31
  I would just say, no, like, no,
• 32:35
  I'm not going to run this for you
• 32:38
  without significant help.
• 32:41
  And Michael, if you're listening,
• 32:43
  tell them, no,
• 32:44
  you don't want it without like, if,
• 32:46
  They have come in and stepped in and
• 32:49
  seen the issues and they decide to take
• 32:51
  it away from Bob and Joe.
• 32:54
  The problem is it needs to be an
• 32:56
  HQ event because somebody from HQ needs to
• 33:00
  walk their butt over there and see how
• 33:02
  shit is running.
• 33:05
  And they need to have some buy-in into
• 33:08
  this.
• 33:08
  And you can't tell me that spending,
• 33:11
  splitting them all up is the cheaper way
• 33:14
  to do things.
• 33:15
  If we're not with Wheelwod and the Teen
• 33:18
  Pit,
• 33:19
  and we end up with three different venues
• 33:22
  over three different weekends,
• 33:23
  you cannot tell me that that is cheaper.
• 33:26
  You can't tell me that SAP Center was
• 33:30
  rented out for the entire week.
• 33:33
  I like, I don't care if they would,
• 33:35
  we would have went even earlier and
• 33:36
  started on Sunday and we would have added
• 33:39
  two days on and started real wide on
• 33:41
  Sunday and teen and teens went on Monday
• 33:44
  and we went on Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 33:45
  like splitting that cost is going to be
• 33:52
  cheaper in a, in one venue.
• 33:55
  Like there's just no way.
• 33:56
  And without them bringing it back to
• 34:00
  one big festival where all the all the
• 34:03
  spectators can see anything they want to
• 34:06
  see for one price it it's just gonna
• 34:10
  fail it like it delegitimizes we are just
• 34:13
  doing legends we're just doing legends
• 34:15
  just doesn't exist anymore we're just
• 34:16
  doing legends like we're not doing the
• 34:18
  crossfit games we're doing legends there's
• 34:20
  no support from hq
• 34:25
  Yeah, I mean,
• 34:25
  I just feel like I would like HQ
• 34:27
  to take it over.
• 34:28
  And I just think there's a disconnect
• 34:30
  between everything that happened at the
• 34:32
  convention center and then everything that
• 34:33
  happened at the SAP center.
• 34:35
  Like we do the opening ceremony and it
• 34:37
  was great.
• 34:38
  Awesome.
• 34:38
  You know,
• 34:39
  they acknowledge the past champions.
• 34:42
  They acknowledge the winners of the first
• 34:43
  seven events.
• 34:45
  We have a bunch of masters on the
• 34:46
  floor,
• 34:47
  like not even anything about
• 34:49
  congratulations to the masters that just
• 34:50
  completed their events.
• 34:52
  No videos of highlights of the masters or
• 34:54
  the teenagers or the adaptive division
• 34:56
  that were going on over the weekend.
• 34:58
  Even some stuff that could have been
• 35:00
  popping up on the SAP Center or
• 35:02
  congratulations,
• 35:03
  these were the champions over the weekend.
• 35:05
  Like there was just no acknowledgment
• 35:07
  when you're at the SAP center of anything
• 35:09
  happening on the other side of the road
• 35:12
  or whatever.
• 35:13
  And I just feel like there's,
• 35:14
  there's just a disconnect.
• 35:14
  There are different workouts,
• 35:16
  different people running it.
• 35:18
  And I would just like to see it
• 35:19
  more together.
• 35:23
  CrossFit does not want anything to do with
• 35:26
  it.
• 35:27
  They want to clean their hands and let
• 35:29
  other people take it on,
• 35:31
  and they don't want to financially or
• 35:33
  physically support them.
• 35:35
  I know it sounds like we're always bashing
• 35:37
  Joe and Bob, but it's not just them.
• 35:40
  It's that, hey, run this competition,
• 35:43
  but you can't have a qualifier to earn
• 35:45
  any money to support it.
• 35:47
  We're barely going to give you any money
• 35:49
  from the open,
• 35:50
  which your competitors put most of the
• 35:52
  money into.
• 35:54
  And good luck with everything.
• 35:56
  But you can't do this, this,
• 35:58
  and this because we have relationships
• 36:01
  with companies.
• 36:04
  I heard that other companies wanted to
• 36:06
  sweeten the kits that athletes got,
• 36:10
  and they were told no because of the
• 36:13
  contract with Valites and CrossFit.
• 36:17
  What contract?
• 36:17
  We barely got anything.
• 36:19
  Like, that's just silly.
• 36:21
  But it was an overall contract.
• 36:23
  That's what I'm saying.
• 36:24
  There's these things, like,
• 36:26
  dampering what Bob and Joe can do.
• 36:32
  Yeah, like,
• 36:33
  I'm sure there's so many things in the
• 36:34
  background that we don't know that they're
• 36:36
  so handcuffed into, like,
• 36:38
  what they can do.
• 36:39
  And this is the best that they got,
• 36:42
  you know?
• 36:43
  Yeah.
• 36:44
  And, like, I am very, very grateful that,
• 36:46
  like,
• 36:46
  we are able to have a CrossFit Games
• 36:50
  in the Masters Division.
• 36:51
  And that's not, you know,
• 36:52
  cancelled and it continues to happen.
• 36:54
  And, yeah, I mean,
• 36:56
  I like that I'm able to compete still
• 36:58
  at this level.
• 36:59
  But, yeah,
• 37:00
  there definitely needs to be more support
• 37:03
  coming elsewhere because it's just,
• 37:05
  you know...
• 37:07
  Like Bob and Joe,
• 37:08
  I feel like are trying,
• 37:09
  but they're just not getting the resources
• 37:11
  needed to put on a CrossFit Games that
• 37:16
  should be up to, you know,
• 37:18
  a CrossFit Games standard.
• 37:20
  I want to address a couple things here
• 37:21
  real quick.
• 37:23
  Larry says,
• 37:23
  I'm certainly not anti-Bob and Joe,
• 37:26
  but everything I've seen Micah can make it
• 37:27
  work under less than optimal
• 37:29
  circumstances.
• 37:30
  Micah had an event that wasn't under the
• 37:32
  contracts of the CrossFit Games.
• 37:35
  And that's the one thing that you can't
• 37:37
  see from the outside.
• 37:40
  Because of the deals that CrossFit made to
• 37:44
  get more money into the system,
• 37:46
  which they're probably not sharing very
• 37:47
  much of with the divisional athletes or
• 37:50
  the divisional organizers,
• 37:53
  you are even handcuffed more than Micah
• 37:56
  running a semifinal event.
• 37:59
  Shanna says,
• 38:01
  if they don't want to support the Masters,
• 38:02
  then why are we supporting the elites in
• 38:04
  HQ with all of our money?
• 38:06
  I think that's where it's headed.
• 38:08
  I think it is that some third party
• 38:10
  is going to say, hey,
• 38:11
  we want the best athletes to come here.
• 38:14
  We'll run our own qualifier,
• 38:15
  get the best of the best to come
• 38:17
  to this venue,
• 38:18
  and we'll crown the fittest of each age
• 38:21
  group here.
• 38:25
  But it's going to take all of the
• 38:27
  athletes to say, we're going here instead.
• 38:31
  Can all of the masters collectively decide
• 38:34
  to do that?
• 38:35
  That's the part that's hard.
• 38:42
  Sorry.
• 38:45
  I wanted to pull this one off.
• 38:48
  Andrew says Castro was there twice.
• 38:51
  Andrew,
• 38:51
  please let me know what other event he
• 38:55
  was there for.
• 38:55
  Because the only time I saw Castro was
• 38:59
  at Arena Green Park for the run.
• 39:01
  And that's probably because it was a
• 39:03
  two-minute run.
• 39:05
  I said hi to him inside.
• 39:07
  At the McHenry Center?
• 39:08
  Yes.
• 39:09
  I don't know if it was,
• 39:10
  I think it was the last day.
• 39:14
  No, it wasn't the last day.
• 39:15
  Yeah, Thursday.
• 39:17
  Because Wednesday he was there.
• 39:20
  I don't remember if it was,
• 39:21
  I think it was after because he had
• 39:23
  asked me how I did and I said
• 39:24
  that I had won.
• 39:26
  So I think he was just like in
• 39:27
  the, you know,
• 39:29
  in that little area by the warm-up area
• 39:31
  that like some people were like about to
• 39:32
  enter the floor.
• 39:34
  That's where he was.
• 39:35
  Okay.
• 39:38
  But I don't think they're getting any
• 39:40
  debrief.
• 39:40
  Again, they just,
• 39:41
  they truly don't care and they aren't
• 39:43
  trying to,
• 39:46
  they aren't trying to get any feedback and
• 39:49
  make any changes.
• 39:50
  Like they literally have washed their
• 39:52
  hands with it and given it to Bob
• 39:53
  and Joe.
• 39:53
  And I think that's unfortunate for Bob and
• 39:55
  Joe because they take so much heat.
• 39:58
  But I also think there's some issues there
• 40:02
  with not being able to like partner with
• 40:06
  anybody.
• 40:08
  I mean,
• 40:08
  the fact that Pitt went off on their
• 40:10
  own and then you can't coordinate with
• 40:15
  Pitt with some of their equipment to share
• 40:18
  equipment.
• 40:18
  Like, here's the thing.
• 40:19
  Like,
• 40:19
  you have to pool resources when you're at
• 40:22
  this level.
• 40:23
  If we can't get sandbag toss type workout,
• 40:27
  if we can't use anything that the elites
• 40:28
  use,
• 40:29
  then we need to at least be pairing
• 40:32
  with the teens and trying to, I mean,
• 40:35
  they have skiers out there.
• 40:36
  They have other things like,
• 40:39
  Think things through, share programming,
• 40:42
  figure some things out so that things can
• 40:44
  run smoother.
• 40:46
  And you aren't using,
• 40:48
  you aren't programming a med ball run
• 40:49
  because you don't have enough sandbags.
• 40:52
  Like if you can't create foster
• 40:57
  relationships where you can get enough
• 40:58
  equipment,
• 40:58
  then be smarter about your programming.
• 41:01
  You clearly didn't test that.
• 41:02
  It's a completely different stimulus.
• 41:05
  Nowhere,
• 41:05
  like I would have done better with a
• 41:07
  fifty pound feed sack on my back.
• 41:11
  And I think several women would have
• 41:13
  agreed and not had nerve issues because of
• 41:18
  being like this for so long.
• 41:24
  The thirty ball helped me out.
• 41:27
  It slowed down the better runners.
• 41:29
  Yeah, it did.
• 41:32
  But that shouldn't be the intent of that
• 41:35
  event.
• 41:38
  Even though it did help you out.
• 41:42
  All right.
• 41:44
  I think we've beat the Masters up a
• 41:47
  lot.
• 41:48
  I still had a good time.
• 41:49
  I still like the community.
• 41:51
  I still really enjoyed hanging out with
• 41:53
  the people there.
• 41:56
  I don't want it to go away.
• 41:59
  I just want the simple things fixed.
• 42:03
  That's all.
• 42:06
  So I know you guys stayed for the
• 42:07
  weekend for the lead individuals.
• 42:12
  any initial thoughts about um what you saw
• 42:17
  for that them on the weekend do it
• 42:22
  no you don't want me to talk go
• 42:25
  jamie oh you give your thoughts um i
• 42:29
  mean i enjoyed it um i love watching
• 42:31
  the crossfit games i've gone every single
• 42:33
  year except for i think
• 42:39
  No different than other years.
• 42:40
  I'm a fan of the sport.
• 42:41
  I like watching what the athletes are
• 42:43
  capable of doing with whatever test is
• 42:45
  thrown at them.
• 42:47
  We saw a lot of new movements this
• 42:48
  year.
• 42:50
  uh personally i wasn't like a huge fan
• 42:52
  of the triple under workout i thought it
• 42:54
  just came down to the triple unders um
• 42:56
  i could i personally could care less if
• 42:58
  someone can do a triple under or not
• 42:59
  i don't think that's too much relevant in
• 43:01
  their fitness um like the i i don't
• 43:05
  mind the ghd one like with the wall
• 43:08
  ball because at least everyone could do it
• 43:09
  and it looked like it was super hard
• 43:10
  on the arms um but then it didn't
• 43:13
  matter because it all just come that came
• 43:15
  down to the triple unders
• 43:17
  I think if that was like a double
• 43:19
  under workout or like a heavy rope double
• 43:21
  under,
• 43:22
  people could progress through that one a
• 43:23
  little bit better.
• 43:26
  The sandbag toss, I mean,
• 43:27
  I'm like swinging in my seat the whole
• 43:29
  time,
• 43:29
  just going along with the bag that people
• 43:31
  were getting ready to throw.
• 43:33
  Sorry,
• 43:33
  there's a family that just keeps yelling
• 43:35
  in the background.
• 43:37
  I think the format of that one could
• 43:39
  have changed,
• 43:39
  like all five athletes throw the first one
• 43:41
  at the same time and then they come
• 43:43
  up to their area and then maybe they
• 43:47
  have a ten-second window to throw it.
• 43:49
  Just to speed it up a little bit,
• 43:50
  I thought that it was a little bit
• 43:52
  slow to just get going.
• 43:54
  The gymnastic ones,
• 43:58
  people were better than I thought,
• 43:59
  but I really didn't like watching the
• 44:01
  backwards one when people would miss.
• 44:03
  I thought it was scary to watch.
• 44:06
  I didn't like watching people miss on
• 44:11
  that.
• 44:11
  I'll go before Jamie goes off on a
• 44:13
  rant because I really enjoyed the games
• 44:16
  this year.
• 44:16
  I thought it was the best vibes and
• 44:19
  the best games I've seen in a few
• 44:21
  years since Madison,
• 44:24
  the best games I've been to.
• 44:27
  Could I nitpick a workout here, there?
• 44:29
  Sure.
• 44:29
  But of the twenty, I really enjoyed it.
• 44:33
  And I thought it built momentum.
• 44:35
  I thought the crowd was loud.
• 44:37
  I would say it's probably the biggest
• 44:38
  crowd we've had since Madison for sure and
• 44:44
  maybe even bigger than that because the
• 44:47
  arena was so big.
• 44:49
  It's really hard to get a full realization
• 44:53
  as to how many people were there.
• 44:55
  But Sunday, the whole lower bowl was full.
• 44:58
  And there was a smattering even up top.
• 45:01
  So...
• 45:03
  I really enjoyed it.
• 45:04
  I thought the gymnastic thing was going to
• 45:06
  be stupid,
• 45:07
  and it was one of my favorite events
• 45:08
  from the weekend.
• 45:11
  The only time that the air came out
• 45:14
  of the crowd was the sandbag toss.
• 45:16
  And maybe if they did what Carolyn said
• 45:18
  with changing up the way it was done,
• 45:21
  maybe that doesn't happen.
• 45:23
  But everybody was cheering and loud,
• 45:25
  and when that sandbag toss came,
• 45:27
  it just kind of...
• 45:31
  But it's twenty events.
• 45:34
  Every year there's events that I don't
• 45:35
  like.
• 45:36
  Every single year.
• 45:38
  So you're going to have one or two
• 45:40
  of those regardless.
• 45:42
  It's twenty events.
• 45:42
  It's the most ever.
• 45:44
  You're going to have a couple that you
• 45:45
  don't like.
• 45:46
  I really, really loved it.
• 45:48
  It was the most comfortable seat I've ever
• 45:50
  been in at a CrossFit Games.
• 45:53
  It was the nicest room by far.
• 45:55
  The Jumbotron was awesome too.
• 45:57
  Underneath the video that you could see
• 45:59
  there.
• 46:00
  It was just like Fort Worth,
• 46:02
  but Fort Worth had its own issue.
• 46:07
  But the seats were so comfortable.
• 46:10
  I really, really enjoyed it.
• 46:12
  And like competitor wise, I feel like,
• 46:15
  you know,
• 46:15
  we saw a few athletes really separate
• 46:18
  themselves this weekend.
• 46:20
  You know,
• 46:21
  this field is the deepest that we had
• 46:23
  seen both on the men and women's side,
• 46:24
  I think ever at the games.
• 46:26
  And even as the weekend went on,
• 46:27
  like there was just levels to to the
• 46:30
  athletes.
• 46:32
  Amy was just a step above basically
• 46:35
  everyone else.
• 46:36
  Emma and Lucy were just a little bit
• 46:38
  behind.
• 46:39
  And then you got like these little packs
• 46:42
  of athletes throughout.
• 46:45
  And then the same thing happened with on
• 46:47
  the men's side where you had four or
• 46:50
  five athletes that were just better than
• 46:53
  everyone else overall on the weekend.
• 46:56
  I think that the two fittest athletes came
• 46:58
  out on top.
• 46:59
  I mean,
• 46:59
  there's no denying with twenty events and
• 47:01
  all the different things that were tested
• 47:03
  that those two are certainly the fittest
• 47:05
  right now.
• 47:08
  Curious to see if Tia wants to come
• 47:11
  back.
• 47:14
  I'd love to see it happen.
• 47:18
  I think that would motivate her to come
• 47:19
  back.
• 47:21
  But, yeah, so I thought the rookies,
• 47:24
  Dylan looked awesome.
• 47:26
  His experience just as a decathlete and as
• 47:28
  a previous team games athlete, I think,
• 47:31
  showed on the female side.
• 47:33
  Who was the top?
• 47:34
  It was Holly.
• 47:35
  There was like three or four rookies just
• 47:38
  back-to-back.
• 47:39
  How about Eileen Wurst?
• 47:42
  Eileen Wurst backfill into the games and
• 47:45
  finished mid-back.
• 47:46
  Yeah, she did awesome.
• 47:48
  A bunch of the rookies did really well
• 47:50
  there, like four of them.
• 47:52
  They were just like, seventeen to like,
• 47:54
  I don't know, seventeen, eighteen,
• 47:55
  nineteen, maybe twenty or something, so.
• 47:59
  Yeah, no, I enjoyed the games.
• 48:02
  Yeah.
• 48:03
  As a spectator, it was fine.
• 48:05
  And it's just nice to catch up with
• 48:08
  people too.
• 48:09
  I like the vendor village.
• 48:11
  The vendors,
• 48:12
  there's not as much as what we used
• 48:13
  to have in Madison.
• 48:14
  Like in Madison, we had rows of vendors.
• 48:16
  It would just go on and on.
• 48:18
  What I like is you didn't need a
• 48:19
  ticket to go into the vendor village this
• 48:20
  year.
• 48:21
  Technically, it was free.
• 48:23
  right so people could come in shop there
• 48:25
  was there was a big screen TV there
• 48:27
  that you could see not as big as
• 48:29
  Madison the beer garden but that area was
• 48:33
  free to the public for them to shop
• 48:35
  and things so I think that's a huge
• 48:36
  improvement just to get people into the
• 48:38
  free yet right outside the venue yeah not
• 48:42
  like Fort Worth it was a block away
• 48:44
  and separate here like two second walk out
• 48:49
  of the door and into vendor village
• 48:50
  And you had to,
• 48:51
  you had to basically go through it, right.
• 48:53
  To get to inside or am I wrong
• 48:55
  thinking that.
• 48:56
  I think you could have gone in from
• 48:58
  like the front of the stadium.
• 48:59
  I think you could have entered up there
• 49:01
  and not gone through vendor village,
• 49:02
  but yeah,
• 49:04
  most people entered from the back.
• 49:06
  And then I love, uh, Barack Obama, uh,
• 49:09
  Boulevard being used.
• 49:11
  I thought that, you know,
• 49:12
  the sleds on there, the runs on there,
• 49:14
  the handstand walk for the teams on there
• 49:16
  look cool.
• 49:17
  Um, yeah, like that outdoor.
• 49:20
  part,
• 49:20
  like they did what they could with the
• 49:22
  road.
• 49:23
  And I thought that was cool.
• 49:27
  Yeah, food, food could have been improved.
• 49:30
  I again,
• 49:31
  and Andrew says that he doesn't know if
• 49:32
  that was a limited by by the venue,
• 49:35
  not wanting more food options out so that
• 49:38
  people buy inside.
• 49:40
  I mean,
• 49:41
  thankful that stuff was open inside,
• 49:42
  but yeah, it's just not always, I mean,
• 49:44
  it's, you know,
• 49:45
  chicken tenders and burgers and not
• 49:47
  necessarily what we CrossFitters want.
• 49:49
  I,
• 49:50
  I felt like nauseous every day after being
• 49:54
  over there, after competing, like, oh, um,
• 50:00
  yeah, I don't know.
• 50:01
  I, I feel like,
• 50:04
  I think probably because I'm so salty with
• 50:06
  how the masters went.
• 50:09
  All I saw when I watched every event
• 50:11
  was just like gross misuse of resources.
• 50:16
  I literally was just like,
• 50:18
  I get it's the twentieth year and you're
• 50:19
  trying to make everything awesome.
• 50:21
  But this is just like so over the
• 50:23
  top that like completely unnecessary.
• 50:27
  I do.
• 50:28
  I have always appreciated how Dave tells a
• 50:30
  story on the floor and it,
• 50:32
  but like the amount of re-taping and
• 50:34
  resetting.
• 50:35
  And I'm like, Jesus, like we,
• 50:37
  we can't get a damn thing.
• 50:39
  And it's,
• 50:41
  And you have fifteen hundred dollars for
• 50:43
  the winner of many women of every single
• 50:46
  all twenty events like you couldn't put
• 50:48
  those.
• 50:49
  None of those wanted to sponsor anything
• 50:52
  for the Masters.
• 50:54
  They didn't want to.
• 50:55
  They didn't want to maybe sponsor fifteen
• 50:57
  hundred for the event winner of the final
• 50:58
  event of the.
• 50:59
  I mean.
• 51:01
  It's just like.
• 51:03
  They already have all of the funds and
• 51:05
  the resources and all of the sponsorship
• 51:07
  money,
• 51:07
  like do they also need fifteen hundred
• 51:08
  dollars for a win?
• 51:11
  I don't know.
• 51:12
  I just well,
• 51:13
  some of those people weren't going to get
• 51:15
  any prize money at all because they were
• 51:16
  in the bottom ten.
• 51:20
  Hannah Black got a fifteen hundred
• 51:21
  dollars.
• 51:21
  She's not getting any more.
• 51:24
  Right.
• 51:24
  Like, yeah,
• 51:25
  there's going to be a few of those,
• 51:26
  but a few of them are like.
• 51:27
  Do you need that?
• 51:31
  I mean, besides the first few spots,
• 51:33
  like for this being a lot of people's
• 51:36
  only income, it's not that much.
• 51:43
  Because I mean,
• 51:43
  most of these athletes don't work.
• 51:44
  So this is their only income slash
• 51:46
  sponsorships,
• 51:47
  which not everyone has money sponsorships.
• 51:53
  I mean, and that's, I mean,
• 51:54
  the eyes are on the elites anyways.
• 51:55
  Like I get the money that's there versus
• 51:57
  the masters.
• 51:58
  Like that's where the eyes are.
• 52:00
  But that's also like all the resources go
• 52:01
  there.
• 52:04
  It sucks, but like, I mean,
• 52:08
  I kind of get it.
• 52:13
  i mean i feel like that's hq just
• 52:15
  like funneling money where they want it to
• 52:19
  go but the re re but realistically the
• 52:27
  pga tour has more eyes and more funding
• 52:30
  than the champions tour right which is for
• 52:34
  the older golfers that have are competing
• 52:37
  in their own league it's just the way
• 52:39
  of the world like
• 52:41
  People are going to watch the PGA more
• 52:43
  than they watch the champions.
• 52:45
  I'm just saying,
• 52:46
  if you want this to grow,
• 52:48
  if you want people like Pat to maybe,
• 52:52
  I mean, Pat,
• 52:53
  we know Pat's not going to do it.
• 52:56
  Like,
• 52:57
  is Emily Rolfe even considering possibly
• 52:59
  doing it?
• 52:59
  Like,
• 53:00
  do you want any of these people aging
• 53:02
  up to consider coming over?
• 53:05
  Like, you need to,
• 53:07
  you need to promote the thirty five to
• 53:10
  thirty nine as much as possible.
• 53:13
  They need they need coverage.
• 53:15
  think the fact of the matter is they
• 53:17
  just don't care like the nfl pumps a
• 53:21
  ton of money into the super bowl and
• 53:23
  but they don't care what's happening in
• 53:25
  college i mean you can say that about
• 53:28
  every sport the money that gets pumped
• 53:31
  into the world series or the that whatever
• 53:33
  the championship is of that sport is where
• 53:36
  all the money goes and they don't care
• 53:39
  about the the other levels
• 53:43
  But on the same coin,
• 53:45
  on the other side of the coin,
• 53:46
  I see what you're saying.
• 53:47
  We're not football.
• 53:51
  At least some support.
• 53:54
  We're just a completely different sport.
• 53:57
  Completely different.
• 53:58
  The fact that you can't even compare it
• 54:00
  to... But they're all championships.
• 54:03
  And if it was just the Masters being
• 54:06
  held,
• 54:07
  you're not going to fill the lower bowl
• 54:09
  of the SAP Center.
• 54:11
  You're just not.
• 54:12
  you have to be realistic about that too.
• 54:20
  I mean,
• 54:21
  it just doesn't help when you don't,
• 54:23
  you don't cover them.
• 54:23
  You don't promote them.
• 54:25
  You barely say that the CrossFit games has
• 54:26
  started.
• 54:27
  Like they couldn't even figure out when
• 54:28
  they were saying the CrossFit games is
• 54:29
  starting.
• 54:29
  Did it start with day one of the
• 54:31
  masters or did it start with Wednesday at
• 54:33
  the ranch?
• 54:34
  I don't know.
• 54:35
  We got mixed messages there.
• 54:42
  I,
• 54:44
  again, I love the masters community.
• 54:46
  I love hanging out with them.
• 54:47
  I love watching them,
• 54:49
  but they're never going to get the eyes
• 54:50
  or the viewership of the elites.
• 54:53
  And so there are,
• 54:54
  there's going to be way more money going
• 54:56
  to the elites than there is to the
• 54:58
  masters.
• 54:58
  I think more people wanted eyes on the
• 55:02
  Noah Scott, Travis race.
• 55:05
  Then,
• 55:05
  then you realize like people were asking
• 55:07
  for like some behind the scenes stuff from
• 55:09
  those guys and no one ever came over
• 55:12
  and
• 55:13
  Even on their down day,
• 55:14
  they're more interested in check-in.
• 55:17
  Those media guys are more focused on that,
• 55:20
  even though people are asking for, like,
• 55:21
  I wish you would have gone over there
• 55:24
  for one day and done some
• 55:26
  behind-the-scenes footage.
• 55:28
  But you can't.
• 55:30
  Legends doesn't let you.
• 55:33
  You can't.
• 55:36
  I've tried.
• 55:37
  I did it in twenty twenty four.
• 55:39
  Does HQ have a say?
• 55:40
  Because now we just go back and forth
• 55:42
  on who gets to say, is it?
• 55:44
  I'm telling you,
• 55:45
  I tried to do it last year in
• 55:46
  Columbus and I was told no.
• 55:50
  I did it in twenty twenty four.
• 55:51
  I made a full behind the scenes
• 55:52
  documentary of the whole damn thing,
• 55:55
  which, to be fair,
• 55:57
  eleven part documentary got hardly any
• 56:00
  views.
• 56:02
  Right.
• 56:03
  So I put all that work in for
• 56:04
  a weekend of a community that I loved
• 56:08
  and I would do it again in a
• 56:09
  heartbeat if I could,
• 56:11
  but nobody watched it.
• 56:15
  So like, but then in,
• 56:18
  I tried to do the same thing and
• 56:20
  I wasn't allowed because of their athlete
• 56:23
  packages that they sell.
• 56:26
  That's how they want to make money.
• 56:28
  So they're not going to let someone go
• 56:30
  in and do a behind the scenes.
• 56:38
  So that's why I cannot side with you
• 56:41
  on the funding thing,
• 56:42
  because I put all that work in.
• 56:44
  I had four people there with me to
• 56:46
  get as much behind-the-scenes footage as I
• 56:48
  could,
• 56:49
  and some of the episodes got a hundred
• 56:51
  and twenty views.
• 56:57
  Nobody's going to sponsor that.
• 57:00
  Yeah, I mean,
• 57:01
  I'm not saying it needs to be the
• 57:02
  full, like, that long of a thing, like,
• 57:06
  short
• 57:08
  little check-ins with literally like the
• 57:10
  top three men and three women.
• 57:13
  Last year I did seven,
• 57:14
  seven minute interviews with people and
• 57:16
  none of them got more than four hundred
• 57:17
  views.
• 57:20
  I did a,
• 57:20
  I made a compilation of like, what,
• 57:23
  what is your why?
• 57:25
  The CrossFit HQ actually commended and it
• 57:28
  got eight hundred views.
• 57:31
  Like the masters want to complain that
• 57:33
  nobody watches it.
• 57:34
  You're a big community.
• 57:35
  Why aren't you watching this stuff?
• 57:39
  Well,
• 57:39
  I feel like people wanted to watch it.
• 57:41
  They couldn't watch.
• 57:41
  I mean,
• 57:42
  I know I had people at home wanting
• 57:43
  to watch my people watch yourself.
• 57:46
  They couldn't watch on flow.
• 57:47
  Like they were like,
• 57:48
  I couldn't follow anything that you were.
• 57:50
  I mean,
• 57:50
  that was my own performance wasn't wasn't
• 57:52
  on.
• 57:52
  But like even Carolyn wasn't on a ton.
• 57:55
  The men are being shown.
• 57:57
  So like if you have people paying thirty
• 57:59
  dollars and then not even be able to
• 58:01
  watch what they want to watch, like, yeah,
• 58:03
  you're going to lose viewership.
• 58:06
  that's this year it hasn't been that way
• 58:09
  in the past and like are you able
• 58:13
  scott to like give the footage when you
• 58:15
  do these that behind the scenes give it
• 58:17
  to crossfit and say hey this is the
• 58:19
  footage that i got are you able to
• 58:21
  do it because they have million you know
• 58:23
  people so total transparency i've never
• 58:27
  said this out loud when i did the
• 58:29
  what is your why video at at the
• 58:31
  games last year
• 58:34
  I talked to Jenna,
• 58:34
  how she said that they were going to
• 58:36
  do something with it.
• 58:37
  I send it over to her and nothing
• 58:39
  ever got done.
• 58:44
  That's sad.
• 58:49
  So, and that's like,
• 58:52
  I know a lot of behind the scenes
• 58:53
  stuff that I cannot share on the air
• 58:56
  that impacts the way I think about a
• 58:58
  lot of this stuff.
• 59:01
  But my love for this community still
• 59:04
  exists and I want to support them any
• 59:06
  way I can.
• 59:07
  But I put those episodes out in twenty
• 59:10
  twenty four.
• 59:11
  Nobody shared them.
• 59:13
  Any Masters athlete could have shared it
• 59:15
  with their family because I'll bet you
• 59:19
  ninety percent of the Masters athletes
• 59:21
  appeared in that documentary.
• 59:24
  If you could speak English and you could
• 59:26
  understand me when I asked you a question,
• 59:28
  you probably got put in that documentary.
• 59:32
  Legends didn't share a single damn episode
• 59:35
  and I sent them every one.
• 59:39
  CrossFit never shared a single one of
• 59:41
  them.
• 59:42
  And the athletes very rarely shared
• 59:44
  anything.
• 59:47
  Some did.
• 59:47
  I don't want to say none of them
• 59:49
  did, but very few did.
• 59:55
  If the,
• 59:56
  if the masters want to be seen,
• 59:57
  they've got to make them,
• 59:59
  they've got to help them.
• 1:00:02
  Help me help you.
• 1:00:03
  Help me help you.
• 1:00:06
  As Cuba Gooding said to Tom Cruise or
• 1:00:10
  the other way around.
• 1:00:13
  And Jerry Maguire.
• 1:00:16
  I think it's going to change some too,
• 1:00:17
  Larry.
• 1:00:22
  How's it going to change if nobody helps
• 1:00:23
  out?
• 1:00:27
  I think, like I said,
• 1:00:28
  the diehard fans are getting older.
• 1:00:33
  And especially if you can entice some of
• 1:00:36
  these athletes to go into that.
• 1:00:38
  Imagine if, if,
• 1:00:43
  imagine if Ariel goes into that group,
• 1:00:48
  but she's not,
• 1:00:49
  cause there's no money making there.
• 1:00:52
  Her priorities are going to be family and
• 1:00:54
  not that maybe.
• 1:01:01
  I wish they do this too, Wayne.
• 1:01:02
  I think that is an easy thing.
• 1:01:05
  And the fact that they don't just do
• 1:01:07
  this is ridiculous.
• 1:01:11
  It would take very little effort to hire
• 1:01:14
  a Jonathan Ortega to make some highlight
• 1:01:16
  reels to show at the games.
• 1:01:20
  All you need is one cameraman and a
• 1:01:21
  computer.
• 1:01:23
  They never acknowledged a single thing all
• 1:01:25
  weekend long of the Masters at SAP Center
• 1:01:29
  on the Jumbotron or of the teenage and
• 1:01:31
  adaptive divisions that were going on that
• 1:01:33
  weekend.
• 1:01:33
  Like, hey, if you guys want to, like,
• 1:01:35
  just a little highlight video,
• 1:01:36
  even if it was of the previous year
• 1:01:39
  and be like,
• 1:01:39
  these athletes are competing here down the
• 1:01:42
  road or some sort of promotion of the
• 1:01:45
  other divisions going on.
• 1:01:46
  Like, there was nothing.
• 1:01:48
  it was probably the quickest turnaround
• 1:01:49
  from event to event at the games but
• 1:01:51
  there were still in between events to show
• 1:01:56
  something on the jumbotron about what was
• 1:01:57
  going on down the street especially when
• 1:02:00
  like we like they try to market all
• 1:02:03
  the time that like crossfit is for
• 1:02:04
  everyone and you know we use masters
• 1:02:07
  athletes that like as you age like look
• 1:02:09
  what you can still do and like
• 1:02:11
  What better promotion than at the Masters
• 1:02:15
  CrossFit Games where the teenagers are
• 1:02:16
  adaptive to just show what all of
• 1:02:19
  different types of bodies can do in age
• 1:02:21
  groups and stuff like that.
• 1:02:23
  And just a miss there.
• 1:02:25
  And like I said, even on the Thursday,
• 1:02:27
  on the opening ceremony day,
• 1:02:28
  when we all just got done competing,
• 1:02:31
  like...
• 1:02:32
  again that was a missed opportunity to at
• 1:02:34
  least acknowledge the completion of the
• 1:02:36
  competition for the masters and maybe just
• 1:02:38
  congratulate it could have been just a
• 1:02:40
  little screen not even a video
• 1:02:42
  congratulate the the winners of each age
• 1:02:44
  group and say thank you to everyone for
• 1:02:47
  showing up and hope to see everyone stick
• 1:02:49
  around for for the rest of the weekend
• 1:02:51
  whether it's here at the sap center or
• 1:02:53
  down the road supporting our adaptive
• 1:02:55
  athletes and the teenage that are still
• 1:02:56
  going on
• 1:02:58
  Like it would have been so easy just
• 1:03:00
  to finish up a little bit of the
• 1:03:01
  ceremony because the ceremony was good.
• 1:03:05
  Just missing a little bit.
• 1:03:07
  Even if it would have just been a
• 1:03:08
  list of the champions from the week.
• 1:03:13
  Something, something to acknowledge it.
• 1:03:19
  Um,
• 1:03:21
  I don't even know where I was going
• 1:03:22
  with anything anymore.
• 1:03:24
  I did want to talk about Damian James.
• 1:03:28
  Two, I think,
• 1:03:29
  really good representatives for champions
• 1:03:33
  for it all.
• 1:03:35
  I thought the battle between James and
• 1:03:38
  Dallin was so fun to watch.
• 1:03:41
  Not only do they have the same coach,
• 1:03:44
  are they best friends?
• 1:03:46
  and they're both really fit going after
• 1:03:48
  each other,
• 1:03:49
  it added so much drama to that storyline.
• 1:03:54
  And one has won, and one wants one,
• 1:03:57
  and how is that going to play out?
• 1:03:59
  And I picked James to win before the
• 1:04:01
  games,
• 1:04:02
  but I wanted Allen to win by Sunday.
• 1:04:05
  I wanted it so bad because of the
• 1:04:08
  way it was playing out.
• 1:04:09
  I think a lot of people did.
• 1:04:14
  then it's like never gallon could beat
• 1:04:15
  james he just wasn't getting anyone to
• 1:04:17
  middle that exactly right like they're
• 1:04:19
  just it was like okay dallent boom james
• 1:04:22
  was like right there like he just wasn't
• 1:04:24
  getting the help to just middle because
• 1:04:27
  like there was just levels and they were
• 1:04:28
  just you know separating themselves at the
• 1:04:32
  top um yeah i originally like i had
• 1:04:36
  I think in my picks that I did
• 1:04:38
  for the spin stuff,
• 1:04:39
  I think I had Ricky winning and then,
• 1:04:42
  and then James, but on the woman's side,
• 1:04:43
  I did pick Amy.
• 1:04:44
  So I was happy that I got my,
• 1:04:46
  my pick there,
• 1:04:47
  but Amy just looked like a beast this
• 1:04:49
  weekend.
• 1:04:51
  So we didn't have an injury report.
• 1:04:55
  I know.
• 1:04:56
  Exactly.
• 1:04:58
  Um,
• 1:04:59
  I picked page two because I didn't have
• 1:05:01
  an injury report.
• 1:05:02
  Um,
• 1:05:05
  What Amy did this weekend was, I was,
• 1:05:10
  today on the lunch show,
• 1:05:12
  everybody was arguing with me that it
• 1:05:15
  wasn't as impressive as things that Tia
• 1:05:16
  had done.
• 1:05:18
  And my argument is, my argument is,
• 1:05:21
  the top three women were two hundred
• 1:05:23
  points above the rest of the field.
• 1:05:26
  And Amy won by a hundred and twenty.
• 1:05:29
  It was Tia-like.
• 1:05:30
  She looked like a Tia-like athlete out
• 1:05:32
  there.
• 1:05:34
  And my question to them was,
• 1:05:36
  tell me where Amy had a weakness where
• 1:05:38
  Tia could attack.
• 1:05:40
  Unlike Laura,
• 1:05:41
  she doesn't have strict handstand push-up
• 1:05:44
  deficit hole, right?
• 1:05:47
  Where Tia could make up a ton of
• 1:05:49
  points.
• 1:05:52
  whether tia beats amy or not in a
• 1:05:54
  head-to-head battle it would be an epic
• 1:05:57
  close race in my opinion because amy
• 1:06:00
  showed she twenty events show me one place
• 1:06:04
  where she struggled this weekend i think
• 1:06:08
  her back squat was maybe her worst event
• 1:06:11
  and like that was it like everything else
• 1:06:13
  was just top tens all around um i'm
• 1:06:17
  trying to think of another event like
• 1:06:18
  we're like oh maybe she'll trip up on
• 1:06:20
  these triple unders or these she did the
• 1:06:23
  first two sets unbroken and then she was
• 1:06:25
  just like nope she's good there too and
• 1:06:27
  you're like damn like she's she was just
• 1:06:31
  head above everyone else i don't know if
• 1:06:33
  you saw the the video hillar put out
• 1:06:35
  the hillar curse is over by the way
• 1:06:38
  um
• 1:06:39
  he he the footage he did with so
• 1:06:42
  he did like a behind the scenes with
• 1:06:44
  ella anole and amy a couple weeks ago
• 1:06:50
  he had a bunch of footage that he
• 1:06:51
  did not release and today he released an
• 1:06:54
  amy kringle video with all of like the
• 1:06:56
  lost pieces of it but that backward roll
• 1:06:59
  to support three weeks ago she couldn't
• 1:07:03
  get one
• 1:07:05
  And then he showed her at the games
• 1:07:08
  doing them as a clip.
• 1:07:10
  It is freaking,
• 1:07:12
  Hiller knocked it out of the park.
• 1:07:14
  It was so good.
• 1:07:15
  Maybe that's why he waited to post the
• 1:07:16
  video.
• 1:07:18
  Because he asks her four times,
• 1:07:22
  different times,
• 1:07:22
  do you think you can win the games?
• 1:07:24
  I don't.
• 1:07:26
  I wonder when, like,
• 1:07:27
  if when Hiller goes to these places and
• 1:07:29
  he, you know, observes the athletes,
• 1:07:31
  I wonder, like,
• 1:07:32
  if he looked at Amy and could predict
• 1:07:34
  that, like, this girl's good,
• 1:07:36
  like she could she can win the games.
• 1:07:38
  Like,
• 1:07:38
  I'm sure I'm sure when he travels to
• 1:07:40
  these athletes places,
• 1:07:41
  like he can maybe see some of their
• 1:07:43
  holes or weaknesses.
• 1:07:46
  But I just wonder, like,
• 1:07:47
  if he saw her being the champion when
• 1:07:49
  he was there, like a few weeks ago.
• 1:07:54
  To be fair,
• 1:07:55
  and Carolyn and I both talked about this,
• 1:07:59
  ultimately I think I'm happy James won
• 1:08:03
  because I do want Dillon to win,
• 1:08:06
  but I also want Dillon to become a
• 1:08:08
  better runner.
• 1:08:12
  I think our CrossFit champion needs to be
• 1:08:14
  a good runner.
• 1:08:16
  I mean, with Amy...
• 1:08:18
  she won the run, the long run.
• 1:08:20
  And then she also won the sprint.
• 1:08:22
  Like it didn't matter.
• 1:08:23
  Like Dale and Dillon,
• 1:08:24
  you would almost think it'd be one or
• 1:08:28
  the other, like,
• 1:08:29
  but Dalen did not great at the run.
• 1:08:31
  And then I think did even worse at
• 1:08:33
  the sprint, which is weird.
• 1:08:35
  Like,
• 1:08:35
  cause like Gazan did bad at the run,
• 1:08:37
  but what top four in the sprint,
• 1:08:40
  like she's able to sprint.
• 1:08:42
  So you would think Dalen would at least
• 1:08:44
  be able to sprint and would have been
• 1:08:45
  maybe top ten, twelve in that, but no.
• 1:08:48
  I would like to see him ankle sprain
• 1:08:53
  on the original run as well,
• 1:08:54
  like at the ranch that he was dealing
• 1:08:56
  with all weekend.
• 1:08:57
  So I'm wondering if that also impacted the
• 1:09:00
  sprint.
• 1:09:02
  I forget who all sort of injured
• 1:09:06
  themselves.
• 1:09:06
  But I do agree.
• 1:09:07
  Like, I feel like, you know,
• 1:09:10
  when we talk about our champions,
• 1:09:13
  you know,
• 1:09:14
  I would want them to go up against
• 1:09:16
  other, you know,
• 1:09:17
  sport athletes and for them to still hold
• 1:09:21
  their own or like in terms of like
• 1:09:22
  running and stuff like that.
• 1:09:23
  I do feel like running is such an
• 1:09:25
  important thing.
• 1:09:26
  Like you have to be able to run
• 1:09:27
  fast and fast for a long period of
• 1:09:30
  time, like long.
• 1:09:31
  And I think James has both and Amy
• 1:09:34
  has both.
• 1:09:36
  When Amy turned on the jets on the
• 1:09:38
  last part of that five hundred,
• 1:09:41
  has any athlete looked that athletic at
• 1:09:44
  the games?
• 1:09:45
  No, she looks like a transformer.
• 1:09:47
  She is unreal.
• 1:09:48
  She isn't that good.
• 1:09:51
  No.
• 1:09:52
  Like, she looked picturesque in that run.
• 1:09:55
  Like, looked like she belonged on a track.
• 1:10:00
  I think that's her background,
• 1:10:01
  is track and field.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah, she did the hurdles, I guess,
• 1:10:03
  is what they said on the broadcast.
• 1:10:09
  I love that too.
• 1:10:11
  Kind of a difference.
• 1:10:12
  Barack Obama Boulevard was so much fun.
• 1:10:17
  I love that they went outside for a
• 1:10:19
  couple events.
• 1:10:19
  It just made it feel like the games.
• 1:10:27
  I took a break and went over to
• 1:10:29
  the park across the street where
• 1:10:31
  activations were going on and watching the
• 1:10:33
  people work out and running through the
• 1:10:36
  park was so cool.
• 1:10:38
  Like it was even different.
• 1:10:40
  It was even better than Madison's
• 1:10:42
  activations because I felt like Madison's
• 1:10:44
  were kind of in the barn or this
• 1:10:47
  was like out in public in a park.
• 1:10:49
  I agree with that.
• 1:10:50
  People doing CrossFit.
• 1:10:52
  It was really freaking cool.
• 1:10:54
  They got to do the two thousand seven
• 1:10:56
  hopper.
• 1:10:56
  Yeah.
• 1:10:58
  Like the NorCal people were running that
• 1:11:01
  one.
• 1:11:02
  As I was walking back towards my car
• 1:11:05
  one of the days,
• 1:11:06
  some people like that are just like not
• 1:11:08
  CrossFitters that are just walking.
• 1:11:09
  They thought the spectators were the
• 1:11:12
  athletes from the CrossFit Games a lot of
• 1:11:13
  times just because, you know,
• 1:11:15
  those were the ones doing everything.
• 1:11:17
  And they're like, oh,
• 1:11:18
  did their event just finish?
• 1:11:19
  And then they're like pointing to the
• 1:11:21
  workout area.
• 1:11:22
  I was like, yes,
• 1:11:23
  but the elite athletes are inside right
• 1:11:27
  now.
• 1:11:28
  So I had to explain to people that
• 1:11:29
  those athletes,
• 1:11:30
  because we stayed and watched them,
• 1:11:32
  like the spectators.
• 1:11:33
  Yeah, that's awesome.
• 1:11:34
  They thought that those were the CrossFit
• 1:11:37
  Games athletes, so I just laughed.
• 1:11:38
  I was like, no,
• 1:11:40
  but I'm sure they're fit still.
• 1:11:45
  And the last thing I'm going to say
• 1:11:46
  about the Games,
• 1:11:47
  one of my highlights was seeing Matt
• 1:11:51
  involved.
• 1:11:54
  That was really cool that it seemed like
• 1:11:58
  he had let bygones be bygones,
• 1:12:01
  and he looked like he was really enjoying
• 1:12:03
  himself for all the festivities.
• 1:12:06
  I agree.
• 1:12:09
  So I really enjoyed that as much.
• 1:12:12
  Plus,
• 1:12:12
  seeing James Fitzgerald and Julie Gentry
• 1:12:16
  was really cool.
• 1:12:19
  I really enjoyed that.
• 1:12:19
  And the hopper, the workout there.
• 1:12:25
  And it's funny because when they had the
• 1:12:27
  three athletes, Jason, Matt, and Tia,
• 1:12:29
  and it was going to be like,
• 1:12:31
  who was going to get the,
• 1:12:33
  Dave was like, oh, we're going to,
• 1:12:34
  the fans are going to pick,
• 1:12:35
  but you're not going to know.
• 1:12:37
  You could tell Tia wanted to win that
• 1:12:39
  so bad.
• 1:12:40
  Like I just looked at her facial
• 1:12:41
  expression and she's so competitive.
• 1:12:43
  Like she wanted to win no matter what.
• 1:12:46
  And her workout was good.
• 1:12:48
  It was,
• 1:12:48
  that was a good workout that she came
• 1:12:49
  up with on event.
• 1:12:50
  I think it's event well, it's good.
• 1:12:54
  yeah um again i really had a good
• 1:12:57
  time um there was people were asking if
• 1:13:00
  they were going to go back to san
• 1:13:01
  jose next year because of the vibes
• 1:13:05
  million dollar renovation is happening to
• 1:13:07
  the sap center so it's not even an
• 1:13:09
  option i really do not ever want to
• 1:13:13
  go back to california like i don't i
• 1:13:16
  i don't think i would go spectate i
• 1:13:19
  love the weather i loved every bit of
• 1:13:21
  the weather
• 1:13:23
  Um, I, I loved the,
• 1:13:26
  I really enjoyed it.
• 1:13:27
  I, I don't, I didn't think I would.
• 1:13:30
  It was only my second time in California.
• 1:13:32
  I had a blast.
• 1:13:34
  I loved Barack Obama being used.
• 1:13:36
  I love the vendor village being right
• 1:13:38
  beside the arena.
• 1:13:39
  I love the park across the street.
• 1:13:42
  I,
• 1:13:42
  it took me a little bit closer to
• 1:13:45
  the festival vibe I was looking for.
• 1:13:47
  Am I just down the street?
• 1:13:49
  There was like that one market that had
• 1:13:50
  like all those things to eat.
• 1:13:52
  Did you go to that one?
• 1:13:54
  I didn't but Whole Foods was a block
• 1:13:56
  away.
• 1:13:57
  There's like a market that had like a
• 1:13:59
  bunch of bunch of food.
• 1:14:03
  Yeah, just like music playing.
• 1:14:04
  I thought it was a good, good location.
• 1:14:06
  Just very expensive.
• 1:14:09
  California is very expensive.
• 1:14:12
  My bank account took a hit pretty hard
• 1:14:14
  this week.
• 1:14:16
  Just know that Jenny has already clipped
• 1:14:17
  something from this show.
• 1:14:19
  I'm anxious to see what it is.
• 1:14:21
  Probably hot-headed Jamie again.
• 1:14:29
  We've already been clipped?
• 1:14:30
  We've already been clipped.
• 1:14:31
  I just got the notice.
• 1:14:32
  Oh, no.
• 1:14:32
  Did I get tagged?
• 1:14:36
  I don't know.
• 1:14:37
  I just came over my phone.
• 1:14:40
  I'm in it.
• 1:14:42
  I got tagged, so we'll see.
• 1:14:47
  So, all right.
• 1:14:48
  Well, since it's late tonight,
• 1:14:50
  this is later than we normally go.
• 1:14:56
  I didn't like the yelling homeless people.
• 1:14:59
  I didn't run into any of those.
• 1:15:00
  I did not enjoy that there was Comic-Con
• 1:15:05
  or whatever.
• 1:15:07
  I have no idea what was going on,
• 1:15:08
  but it was in the convention center,
• 1:15:11
  and it was so overwhelming.
• 1:15:13
  You probably didn't notice, Carolyn,
• 1:15:16
  but it was because it started on Friday,
• 1:15:22
  right?
• 1:15:24
  It started Thursday night.
• 1:15:26
  They were shuffling in as you guys were
• 1:15:27
  finishing.
• 1:15:28
  And then because of that,
• 1:15:30
  so I'm thankful that we didn't stay in
• 1:15:33
  our hotel any longer because we stayed in
• 1:15:34
  that hotel and walked like through the
• 1:15:37
  glass doors to get to the convention that
• 1:15:38
  was connected.
• 1:15:39
  But because that convention was going on,
• 1:15:42
  they locked those glass doors so you could
• 1:15:44
  no longer go from the hotel to
• 1:15:46
  into the convention.
• 1:15:47
  You had to go outside,
• 1:15:48
  walk around the block and get in the
• 1:15:49
  front of the convention center because of
• 1:15:51
  that.
• 1:15:51
  And it was just like overwhelming with the
• 1:15:53
  amount of people,
• 1:15:54
  like you couldn't even cross the street
• 1:15:56
  that it was, you couldn't,
• 1:15:58
  couldn't get in line for anything.
• 1:15:59
  It was, it was just crazy.
• 1:16:01
  I did not enjoy that.
• 1:16:03
  And I,
• 1:16:03
  I think that took away from the teens
• 1:16:05
  and the adaptive.
• 1:16:07
  It was weird.
• 1:16:08
  Well, my hotel,
• 1:16:09
  every breakfast in the morning I went down
• 1:16:12
  and half of the breakfast was anime,
• 1:16:15
  cosplay people,
• 1:16:16
  and the other half were CrossFitters.
• 1:16:18
  So either you were jacked or you were
• 1:16:20
  dressed up as a comic book character.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah.
• 1:16:24
  It was wild.
• 1:16:25
  I do have to say that was a
• 1:16:27
  wild experience.
• 1:16:30
  But I took... It's so funny.
• 1:16:32
  The people in the breakfast recognized me
• 1:16:36
  And I was taking selfies in the breakfast
• 1:16:38
  area all week, which was wild, too,
• 1:16:43
  because I did not expect that.
• 1:16:45
  I did not expect that at all.
• 1:16:48
  One of my highlights, too,
• 1:16:49
  before we go is that Noah and Carolyn
• 1:16:52
  got a picture together.
• 1:16:53
  I thought that was really cool.
• 1:16:56
  anyone has pictures of the weekend please
• 1:16:59
  send them to me i have that's the
• 1:17:00
  only picture i think i have from the
• 1:17:01

• 1:17:03

• 1:17:12

• 1:17:15
  i did i did like that picture with
• 1:17:16
  noah though yeah it was really cool yeah
• 1:17:22
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:23
  I don't know if you guys heard,
• 1:17:24
  but the spin was live and John was
• 1:17:29
  in the lobby and police had to come
• 1:17:32
  in because someone had crashed into the
• 1:17:35
  lobby while they were live on the air.
• 1:17:37
  What?
• 1:17:38
  Like a person came in like all mad
• 1:17:40
  and police had to come.
• 1:17:43
  And at the same time,
• 1:17:45
  the Young's DoorDash showed up.
• 1:17:50
  Like you can't even make that up.
• 1:17:57
  Oh, boy.
• 1:17:58
  So one last time.
• 1:17:59
